Knowledge Ipinge, who returned to the ruling party in September this year, said he never left the party, nor was he expelled.

He explained that, as a result, he remained a member of Swapo.

SWANU of Namibia will prioritise unemployment, poverty, public health, education, and rural economy once elected into power.

This was shared by the party's president, Evilastus Kaaronda, during the official launch of the party manifesto and a regional conference held at Gobabis over the weekend.

The Swapo Party in Zambezi Region has elected Prisca Makabi and Progress Sipapela as candidates to represent the region at the electoral college.

Makabi, a member of the regional executive committee, scored 45 votes, and Sipapela, the district executive member of Linyanti district, got 37 votes.

Swapo Party Vice President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah said the party seeks to renew its mandate with the Namibian people come November 27.

Nandi-Ndaitwah said the party's main aim even before independence has always been to liberate Namibians politically and economically. 

The Electoral Commission of Namibia (ECN) has responded to claims regarding the deregistration of political parties.
